This 3-exercise bodyweight circuit will serve as a warm-up to the main workout.

So, starting out you will do the Touchdown Forward Lunge. For this, you will raise your arms straight up overhead as though signalling a touchdown. Next, lunge forward, getting a good stretch as you come down and then use your lead foot to drive back up. Alternate sides.

By placing your hands overhead it will help open up your chest while also bringing your shoulder blades together.

Next up in this bodyweight warm-up is the Close-Grip Pushup exercise. With hands shoulder-width apart and tucking your elbows into your sides perform a pushup. If you can’t do regular close-grip pushups, then you can just do them from the kneeling position.

The last exercise to do is the Waiter’s Bow. You’ll find that this exercise really stretches your hamstrings and gets you ready for the Romanian Deadlift exercise. If you’re not comfortable with the RDL exercise, then this at least gives you a chance to practice the movement.

So, for this exercise, bend your knees slightly, grab the skin fold of your low back and place your other arm across your chest. From here, you will bend forward as though you are bowing to the table. So, push your hips back and keep your back flat. You will find that the skin fold tries to get away from you and that will be as far as you go before squeezing your glutes to return to the start position.

That’s it for all the exercises in the workout. Rest for 30 seconds and repeat one more time before jumping into your workout.
